    Place adds a 5% service fee. But other than that our service was outstanding and the food was very unique and tasted amazing. Our seats were tight which was normal of a French restaurant but our server (gentleman with the glasses) helped move us to a table with more space and a view of the Ferris wheel. The oysters, French onion soup, and escargot were exceptional. The entrees they offered were very unique and that I’ve never tried before.

    This was our second time having dinner at Alder & Ash before going to see a show at the Paramount. Highly recommend! The Theater Menu option is very convenient and well-priced, especially if you're like me and easily get overwhelmed by choices. This place is definitely on our bookmark list of places to eat in Seattle.
